Hints and Hobbies No.12

Who needs an iron when you have a jam jar to hand? The Hints and Hobbies team return for the last surviving edition of the weekly cinemagazine.

This instalment of Hints and Hobbies includes two features for the budget-conscious fashionista: "How to make six hats from one"(just add tinsel) and "Hints on making an evening dress from a morning frock". Nostalgic cooks can relive the joys of cochineal and piping bags, and, this week's top-tip: how to smooth wrinkled neckties using jam jars and hot water. You'll never use your iron again.
